Psalms 44:23 - Psalms 45:6
23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off forever.
24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
Psalms 45
Intro: Christ and his kingdom described. (To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the son of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves.)
1 My heart is inditing a good matter; I speak of the things which I have made touching the King; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2 Thou art fairer than the children of men; grace is poured into thy lips; therefore God hath blessed thee forever.
3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most Mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously, because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the King's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
6 Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever; the scepter of thy kingdom is a right scepter.
